Let's consider a bullseye with the following concentric circles:
- Ring 0: small, simple systems
- Single jurisdiction
- Email + password
- A few roles
- Naïve or soft deletion
- Minimal audit needs
- Ring 1: grown-up systems
- Long-lived data
- Changing requirements
- Shared accounts
- GDPR-style erasure/anonymization
- Some cross-border concerns
- Historical data must remain usable
- “Oops, we should have thought about that” moments
- Ring 2: heavy compliance
- Formal audit trails
- Legal hold
- Non-repudiation
- Regulatory reporting
- Strong identity guarantees
- Jurisdiction-aware data partitioning
- Ring 3: banking / defense / healthcare at scale
- Cryptographic auditability
- Append-only ledgers
- Explicit legal models
- Independent compliance teams
- Lawyers embedded in engineeRing
diachron is designed to be suitable for Rings 0 and 1. Occasionally we may
look over the fence into Ring 2, but it's not what we've principally designed
for. Please take this framing into account when evaluating diachron for
greenfield projects.
